Interestingly this fixed it (a single chmod didn't do it):
cd /sw/share/xfig/Libraries
sudo find . -type f -exec chmod a+r {} \;
sudo find . -type d -exec chmod a+rx {} \;
It also resolved some other weird 'sometimes' crashes.
It would be great, if fink had a 'check permissions' script.
Anyways, thanks for the help.
